Hyke is developing self-driving electric ferries and shaping sustainable cities of the future by contributing to the reduction of inner-city traffic and emissions.

To operate autonomously, our ferries need to understand their surrounding situation, and they do this in part using computer vision. With data from sensors, such as for example cameras and Lidar, we utilise deep learning methods to detect objects in a scene, and then use this information further in the autonomy stack. This same computer vision technology can also be used to increase the effectiveness of Search & Rescue operations, which we are also doing together with the Norwegian Search & Rescue Society (Redningselskapet) in bthe Smart Saver project
